I take Met as well. It does have some horrible side effects. And I agree, it doesn't seem to matter what I do (or don't) eat. I wish I had some helpful hints, but i really don't. All I can say is to stick it out. It does seem to have made a slight difference in my cycle (I actually ovulated last month!) Good luck! Just know you aren't alone!!
